Daddy was a cop on the south side of Chicago
Back in the U.S.A. back in the bad old days

How many remember that song from the summer of 1974?

Hint. It's not "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"

Anyway, I work in New York City because Chicago is just too dangerous for me.

I didn’t remember it until I looked it up, and even then I didn’t recognize it until I listened to it.

Thanks for the reminder.

Love that song. Only these are even worse days. Cops claim they’re looking for a motive. Snort, they know there isn’t a motive. It was a gang thing and starting out the weekend early.

Jim Croce's wife Ingrid has a nice restaurant in downtown San Diego. It is named Croce's. She had a small shop inside the shopping center where I encountered their son A.J. working when I was out for lunch during jury duty. A.J. is a pretty good musician as well.

Whoever wrote the lyrics to that song never lived in Chicago. They mention the East Side. That would be the lake.
